Heidi Sowter

Heidi Sowter is a Lecturer in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Derby, affiliated with the Department of Natural Sciences. Her research focuses on ovarian cancer biology, molecular oncology, and the application of complementary therapies in cancer care. Key areas include biomarker discovery, potassium channel function in cancer progression, and patient quality-of-life interventions such as yoga programs for gynaecological cancer patients.

Her work spans translational research, combining laboratory investigations (e.g., gene expression profiling, cistrome analysis) with clinical studies (e.g., randomized controlled trials for supportive care). Notable contributions include identifying PAX8's role in ovarian cancer, targeting Src signaling in endometriosis-linked cancers, and evaluating inspiratory muscle training for advanced cancer patients.

Collaborations include institutions like the University of Cambridge and international teams, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches. Her publications reflect a blend of basic science and clinical applications, addressing both molecular mechanisms and patient-centered outcomes.
